Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Guest at the Gate
From guest to guest, meantime, a rumor went! One asked to see the bridegroom, at the gate, An aged soul, by time and sorrows bent, Whom none might censure, though impor tanate. Beside, who knows what fortune may await, Whereof she may the jealous guardian be; Weak creatures oft bear out the will of Fate; And she may bring auspicious news to thee, That thou art heir to fine estates beyond the sea!
